THE CITY WAS GOING THROUGH A TRANSFORMATION IN THE CDC HAD TO TRANSFORM FROM SMALL PROJECTS AND. MEDIUM SIZED CITY TO GOING AFTER MUCH, MUCH BIGGER, MORE SIGNIFICANT PROJECTS, AND THE
[00:20:03]
ORGANIZATION AND BOARD HAD TO CHANGE AND BECOME A LITTLE MORE SOPHISTICATED. AND YOU I THINK WERE VERY INSTRUMENTAL IN HELPING THE STAFF.

THANK YOU, PETER. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. WE'LL MOVE ON TO THAT. 0859[Consider/Discuss MEDC Monthly KPI Metrics Report]
CONSIDER DISCUSSED THE MONTHLY KPI METRICS REPORT. UM, THANK YOU AGAIN, MR. CHAIRMAN AGAIN.UM ALL OF OUR METRICS ARE DOING FANTASTIC. EXCEPT FOR THAT FIRST ONE, UM THE AGAIN WE'RE WE'RE WE HAVE JUST INCREDIBLE VOLUME OF PROJECT ACTIVITY COMING IN THIS YEAR. WE WE'VE WITHIN THE LAST MONTH. WE'VE GOTTEN AT LEAST THREE NEW, VERY LARGE PROJECTS AGAIN, LOOKING AT PROJECT LIFE CYCLES AND THINGS ARE TAKING LONGER THESE DAYS. WE'RE LOOKING AT A MINIMUM 12 TO 18 MONTHS SO THINGS THAT WE START WORKING ON TODAY WE WON'T BE REALIZED POTENTIALLY TILL UM, 12 TO 18 MONTHS FROM NOW, HOPEFULLY SOONER, BUT WE'RE WE'RE GOING THROUGH THAT THAT REBUILDING YEAR AGAIN, HAVING, UM, JUST STRANGE REAL ESTATE OCCURRENCES HAPPENED THROUGH SOME OF OUR PROJECTS. YOU CAN SEE THAT. YOU KNOW, WE HAVE $49 MILLION IN PENDING CONTRACTS THAT ARE AWAITING APPROVAL, EITHER WAITING FOR THE CLIENT TO FINALIZE SITE PLANS OR FINALIZED SITE LOCATIONS OR JUST SOME SOME OTHER ISSUE THAT IS KEEPING THEM FROM MAKING A FULL ANNOUNCEMENT OR SIGNING THE CONTRACT. BUT STILL HOLDING AT 13.6 MILLION CURRENT SIGN DEALS THAT WE HAVE GOING WITH. WE HAVE SOME THAT WE WILL BELIEVE WILL BE ADDED TO THAT THROUGH THE LAST THROUGH Q FOUR. SO UM WE'RE VERY CLOSE TO SEVERAL PROJECTS, INCLUDING SEVERAL LARGE ONES, SO WE HOPE TO, UM, HAVE SOME ANNOUNCEMENTS IN THE FALL. BUT OTHER THAN THAT, OUR PROJECT PIPELINE ACTIVITY IS STRONG. EMAIL. MARKETING RATES ARE WHERE THEY NEED TO BE. INCREASED TRAFFIC. I MEAN, EVERY OTHER METRIC WE HAVE WE MET OR EXCEEDED BY THIS POINT IN THE YEAR, SO, UM, STAFF IS WORKING HARD TRYING TO GET PROJECTS CLOSED. QUESTIONS. WHAT'S FOR PETER? THANK YOU.
THANK YOU. PETER. LOOKS REALLY GOOD. UH, WE'RE STILL ON TRACK THERE. YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY, UH WE'LL PROBABLY HIT THAT NUMBER BY DOUBLE, SO WE'LL JUST SEE HERE HAVE NEXT MONTH AGO. WITH THE PROJECTS WE HAVE IN THE PIPELINE. UM REGULAR AGENDA ITEMS, UM, MOVING ON, STARTING
[Consider/Discuss/Act on the July 2022 Financials]
WITH 22-0860. ACT DISCUSSED THE JULY 22 FINANCIALS. GOOD MORNING TRANSPORTER FINANCIAL COMPLIANCE MANAGER. YOU WANT TO OPEN IT UP, DEENA. FINANCIAL TOGETHER, THAT'S FINE. UM WE GO TO PAGE TO START OFF THIS INCOME STATEMENT . OKAY THIS IS JULY. THIS IS OUR 10TH MONTH OF OUR FISCAL YEAR. I WILL NOTE THAT WE HAVE 10 MONTHS OR 10 DAYS UNTIL THE FISCAL YEAR CLOSES. THEN WE'LL START OCTOBER 1ST WILL BE THE START OF THE NEW BUDGET SEASON. SO UM, THE AUDITORS ARE HERE. NOW THEY'LL COME AGAIN ANOTHER MONTH OR SO. SO THROUGHOUT THE NEXT MONTH, YOU'LL SEE SOME I'LL COME UP WITH THE SEPTEMBER FINAL REPORT WILL PROBABLY TAKE ABOUT THREE OR FOUR MONTHS AFTER THAT, WHEN THE AUDITORS MAKE THEIR FINAL DECISIONS AND STUFF, AND WE'RE IN THE FINAL FINANCIALS AT THAT POINT BUT EITHER WAY GOING OVER THE JULY FINANCIALS, UM IN REGARDS TO REVENUE, THAT TOP PART AH, FOR THE MONTH OF JULY, WHERE WE RECEIVED 1.6 MILLION IN SALES TAX REVENUE. WE HAD 17,000 AND INTEREST INCOME, SO TOTAL INCOME FOR THE MONTH OF JULY WAS 1.61 MILLION. UM MOVING DOWN TO[00:25:01]
OPERATIONS. WE HAD 175,000 AND OPERATIONAL EXPENSES FOR THE MONTH OF JULY. I MEAN, YOU SEE THE BREAKDOWN ABOVE 100,000 PERSONNEL, 2000 OF SUPPLIES, 6 6000 SERVICES AND SUNDRY UM, PROJECT EXPENSES WAS 2.6 MILLION. AH THERE'S MADE ABOUT VARIOUS. SEVERAL PROJECTS IN THE VERY BOTTOM PART IS NON DEPARTMENTAL, WHICH IS 200,000 OF THAT IS OUR MONTHLY TRANSFERS TO OUR DEBT SERVICE FUND TO COVER GIRLS THAT SERVICE PAYMENTS EACH YEAR. UM, MOVING ON TO SELL SEX SHOULD BE PAGE FIVE. I THINK, DINA. UNLESS YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OVER THE INCOME STATEMENT WILL MOVE ON THE SALES TAX. OKAY UM, THE NEXT PAGE THE SISTER CITY COMPARISON, OKAY? SO JULY SALES TAX COLLECTIONS APPLIES TO THE MONTH OF MAY. THIS IS MAY SALES TAX, YOU CAN SEE THAT IT'S A 7.9% INCREASE FROM MCKINNEY. UM IT'S A LITTLE MISLEADING. SO LAST YEAR WE HAD A BIG AUDIT COLLECTION THIS YEAR. WE HAD A NEGATIVE AUDIT COLLECTIONS ARE TRUE PERIOD OF PERIOD INCREASES 15.3. WE EXPECTED TO SEE A SLIGHT SLOWDOWN AND SELF TAX INCREASES. MAY WAS WHEN WE STARTED TO SEE THE INTEREST HIKES. THE INTEREST RATE HIKES, UH, SEE THE CPI INCREASES WERE A LITTLE BIT MORE NOTABLE ACROSS THE COUNTRY, SO WE THOUGHT THAT THAT WOULD PLAY A LITTLE IMPACT. BUT THE 15% INCREASE. I CAN'T SAY THAT'S THE CASE, SO WE'LL SEE HOW JUNE WAS THE FIRST MONTH OF US REALLY SEEING THAT BEING MORE NOTABLE ACROSS THE COUNTRY, SO WE'LL SEE HOW THAT IMPACTS THE NUMBERS, BUT LOOKING AT MAY SELL SEX. I CAN'T SEE THAT PLAYING ANY IMPORTANT IN THE SALES TAX NUMBERS. I'M LOOKING AT ALAN. THEY HAD A 3.4% INCREASE THAT, UM THEY'RE TRUE INCREASES 5% THAT'S PRETTY CLOSE TO THAT FIRST SO WE CAN SEE HOW THE 27.4% INCREASE. THEIR TRUE INCREASE WAS 31. UM LAST YEAR, THEY HAD A 30% INCREASE AS WELL.SO THAT'S BACK TO BACK. UH YOU KNOW, JULY 2022 JULY 21 WAS 30% INCREASE. JULY 21 TO 22 WAS 30% INCREASE. I CAN'T SEE ANYTHING OTHER NUMBERS. THEY DON'T PUT A LOT OF TRANSPARENT STUFF ON THEIR WEBSITE. SO, UM AS OF SEPTEMBER 30TH, THEY'RE REQUIRED TO PUT SOME INFORMATION OUT THERE. SO I'M HOPING TO SEE IN THE END OF THE YEAR. FINANCIAL REPORTS SOMETHING THAT GIVES ME SOME INSIGHT OF WHAT'S CAUSING THERE. INCREASES I DON'T HAVE A NEW BUSINETHERE, BUT I CAN'T SEL ANYTHING AT THIS TIME. UM PLANO SAW 17.1% INCREASE THEIR TRUE INCREASE. THERE WAS ONLY 12% WHICH IS STILL A STUDY INCREASE . SO WE'RE LOOKING AT HERE TODAY, THOUGH, FOR MCKINNEY, WE'RE AT 16.6% YOU KNOW, WE BUDGET I THINK WE BUDGETED AROUND 7% INCREASE THIS YEAR, SO WE'RE WELL ABOVE THAT NEXT YEAR , BUDGETING A 5% INCREASE. SO UM , I KEEP ALL THAT IN MIND AND YOU CAN SEE HOW OUR OTHER SISTER CITIES ARE DOING AS WELL ISLANDS AT 8% FRISCO'S AT 24.7% IN PLATO'S AT 17. 0.6% MOVING TO THE LAST PAGE. THIS IS Y'ALL'S REQUESTS. AS I TRIED TO PUT THIS IS STILL WORKING PROGRESSES OURSELVES SEX BY INDUSTRY. I TRIED TO GO AT THE BOTTOM, RIGHT . YOU CAN SEE THE VARIANCES, YOU'LL SEE THERE'S FOUR COLUMNS . THE FIRST ONE IS JULY OF 2020 . THE SECOND ONE IS JULY OF 21. JULY OF 22. SO I'M OPEN TO SUGGESTIONS OF HOW TO MAKE THIS MORE HELPFUL FOR YOU ALL, BUT IT'S BASICALLY YOU CAN SEE THE INCREASES IN INDUSTRIES AT THE VERY BOTTOM. I INCLUDED ALL THE MINOR CATEGORIES, AND I JUST GROUP THEM INTO THE, UM ONE.
JUST THEY'RE ALL YOU KNOW, AROUND 12 2012 TO 15,000 OR SO JUST MADE MORE SENSE TO COMBINE THEM ON. INSTEAD OF HAVING A LONG LIST OF EVERYTHING. NOTABLE THINGS IS RETAIL TRADE HAD A DECREASE STARTING 4000. UH THIS IS ONE OF THE FIRST DECREASES I'VE SEEN, BUT I'M NOT TOO WORRIED ABOUT IT. I DON'T THINK THE CP I INCREASE IN THE INTEREST RATES ARE CAUSING THAT I THINK THIS IS JUST, UM ONE ON ONE TIME, YOU KNOW, FLUKE. SO I'M NOT TOO WORRIED ABOUT IT.
I'LL SEE HOW NEXT MONTH COMES UP. BUT THEN I'M LOOKING ACROSS THE REST OF THEM. THEY ALL LOOK PRETTY STANDARD CONSTRUCTION HAD A SIGNIFICANT INCREASE. BUT THAT'S THE WAY THAT INDUSTRY WORKS. WE'LL HAVE A LOT OF HUGE MONTHS. WE'LL HAVE A LOT OF SLOWER MONTHS. IT JUST DEPENDS ON THE TIME OF THE YEAR FOR THAT. AND BESIDES THAT, THERE'S NOTHING REALLY NOTABLE THAT STANDS OUT TO ME. SO UM, THROUGHOUT THE MONTH OF YOU'LL SEE ANYTHING THAT YOU WOULD LIKE ME TO ADD TO THIS OR ANYTHING TO CHANGE. I'M MORE THAN HAPPY TO DO THAT. THIS IS JUST THE FIRST ROUGH DRAFT OF THAT, AND I'LL STAND FOR ANY QUESTIONS. APPRECIATE THE GRAPH. IT'S HELPFUL. BECAUSE I LOVE THE BREAKDOWN THERE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR MR MILLER? THANK YOU. THANK YOU. RIGHT. THIS IS AN ACTION ITEM. REMEMBER? THE MOTION TO APPROVE. DO I HAVE A SECOND? SECOND. MILLER, SECOND BY MR HENSLEY. SOME PASSES. NEXT. WE HAVE ANOTHER REGULAR
